That's It! Dude is 72 and she is 26...stop hating on this guy and give him his props. Enjoying that Life before checking out. Having a form of right relationship is the critical key to longevity and too many U.S. men have either opted out or been beaten down and defeated. Too many older men in the U.S. hate on their brothers instead of sharing information and helping each other out. In the end its all the same for MANY...this guy got divorced, faulty or not, and found a way to make it work for himself instead of being defeated by the system. Good luck and thanks for posting.
Exactly. 35-year-old Western women will hate on her and him for being happy and smiling and living a great life. All while saying where have all the good men gone? Meanwhile she thinks it is unthinkable for a woman to ever serve her husband or children.
Well said and I totally agree!
I hope old Randy snuffs it on the job. What a fitting ending for a guy such as him, lol
@M J did you meet them on the street or on a dating site
@M J I'm going to do an 18 month trip around the world from 2023 and I want to spend 3 months in the philippines. My goal is to go to Davao, Cagayan de oro, and Zamboanga and I'm going to see what's up over there
Folks I hate to tell you this but I have be living on and off in the Philippines since 1989 and I live and have lived for a lot less than Randy. I am now lock up in Alaska waiting to go home to Philippines and see my family. All that Randy said was true and I congratulate him. Dan of Alaska waiting to go home.
@@amylee6038 whoopeedo
@Randy Wilson 100% agree however someone donโt have to brag about how much money and all the materialistic things someone have.
@@amylee6038 Yes, but your poor husband has to live with an old, crusty lady.
@@amylee6038 not much humility left๐ค
Are the borders open? Covid19?
My 77yr old dad lived out in the province in Malolos north of Manila on $740 a month, it can be done easy in the province. He did have a 13a and wife whom was 58. Sadly he passed away in Sept from Covid. He was military Vet who was in Vietnam and even though he did not try for disability, His wife is now getting $1300 a month for life for survivor benefit's.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
@kylestanley sorry for your loss. Was he buried at the American cemetary in old Clark air force base ? Us US veterans can be buried there free
Much respect to Randy. He knows how to enjoy and be content on what he only have. You can see that he is happy. No stress, no problem. Me too, I want to live a simple life โค๏ธ
This guy is having the last laugh on the wife that left him. Good for you Randy. Live long and have fun. My hero.
They don't all wear capes lol
There's two sides to every story!
I'm not impressed with this at all living in the United States Yonkers NY with a $350 a month apartment in 1983 honest-to-God I was only making a $112 a week from CH Martins in Getty square paying $350 a month look how much i was getting paid a month no benefits Sometimes you do what you have to do to survive I was using a little over $10 for food every week sometimes sometimes less i had just turned 18 I live like that for almost years On only $448 a month I was a teenager danger so I'm not impressed by this at all by myself I have to proof that I did it does does he have the proof im 57 now that was 1983 to a little into 1987 Just like those animals out in the world in the woods that don't know what they're gonna eat the next day they have to catch their prey this is not impressive to me at all coming from parents that weren't there from me where I was in the group home from 6 till I was 18 because they were fighting all the time you have to learn how to survive
I'm not at all impressed by this if I can do what I did I can easily do this
People that are middle class are gonna be impressed by this who are used to the good life the It's normal life but my life Till my very early thirties I survived like this
Randy proves you can live a simple happy life without a lot of money , especially in the Philippines , great story, my first visit was 2004 , I decided then , when I retire I will live in Phillipines , I moved here permanently in 2016, this is my home now .
Thanks for sharing
I stayed one time over my visa time. Not intentionally, I forgot how long i was there. At the airport as was leaving, the authorities just informed me that I had over stayed my visa. And instructed me to go to customs. They were very respectful, informed me how much I had to pay for over staying my visa. I paid that, which wasnโt that much. I boarded my plane โ๏ธ. No issues and no problems. Since, I have returned several times. With no problems, now I am not saying a person doesnโt have to keep their visa up to date, I believe they should, but if someone forgets or delayed in paying, you will have to pay before you leave. The authorities are not running after you, you be responsible, and be respectful, donโt get into any kind of trouble. You will be okay. But remember if you decide to leave have some money set aside so you pay the fees, and depending on how long a person has stayed over will determine how much they will pay. Just pay and everything will work out fine.
That guy Randy must have fees up in the hundreds after over staying 14 years. I think they may ban him if he's caught. It's one thing to make an honest mistake and overstay for a few days or weeks. You may get away with over staying months or a couple of years but 14 years?
In Randys case say 20 years over at 500 per month is only 2400 dollar fine. ๐ 120,000 pesos
But OVER STAYING for years and years is a completely different story. This guy is a dead man walking, he will be black listed and deported soon.. for sure.
@@nowthatsfunny1 itโs not 500 per month. Itโs a 500 pesos exit fee you have to pay at BI however at the airport it will cost around 1,600 pesos. I pay 2,800 pesos every other month for visa extension. I have to show my ACR card to be able to get my visa extension. My ACR card cost is 2,391 and itโs valid for 1 year. So roughly around $5,000 US he will have to pay.
@@ckSport3000 you are probably right, I would not recommend anyone doing this. My situation was, I only stay a few days. At the airport I had to go to customs and pay for my visa stay that went over two days or maybe three, I don't remember. I pay about a hundred dollars, maybe a hundred and fifty. At the airport when they check a person passport and see a person has over stayed, they send them to customs at the airport. And a person is not leaving until they pay. And they have to pay in cash. No credit cards.
He is HILARIOUS! have him on again please!
He comes on once a year or so. :-)
Yeah he cracked me up about immigration and how his passport has been expired for years....LOL
600USD per month is like about 2.5 times the minimum wage. Definitely livable at least in the Philippines.
I have a wife in the Philippines now when you can get apartments at less than $200 a month I'm not impressed by that try paying 350 a month getting a $112 a week like I did $600 a month budget I'm not impressed by that in the Philippines ..I've been to the Philippines over 5 times have a wife and son in iligan city thats easy for a man that's lived like me I make 550 a week now I was living like a king every time I went there and spent almost 6 months every time which was a difference from 112 a week Putting aside a little over $75 just to make $350 a month rent try doing that for a all utilities included studio for 350 a month
Thank you for your cost of living numbers Nuryana Panaligan! Have a great day! Dan
For some Filipinoes like me sometimes u need to leave the Philippines for a while to appreciate the beauty and how easy lifestyle in the Philippines is.
Thank you for the wise thought Fil-Am Random Videos. This channel is all about new ways of looking at things differently. Sometimes we need to get away and look back for a few years before we know how good we had it. Plus, comments, subscriptions, and likes, cause CZcams to grow our channel which also grows our income. So, thank you, :-) Dan
@@VagabondAwake glad to help:)
Ah. How did I miss this? Iโm delighted to see this update. Great to see how your previous interviewers are getting on โค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธ
More to come!
Thanks for the video. This is a eye opening for men in the United States thinking thereโs no hope. Randy is living the dream good for him. His partner looks happy, win win
time to take that red pill ๐
@Randy Wilson I love the reply!!! You are too cool!!!!!
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Amazing. I swear I want to be living that dream in a couple years. Have to finish preparing.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
That was a great interview. I really enjoyed that, and got some good advice from him.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Love your videos sir. Very informative and I share them all the time with fellow travelers! Thanks you for what you do.๐๐พ
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Yes! More of randy. And Philippines budget video. Thanks for this video.
Our pleasure!
What wonderful chap Randy is, so modest, simple, down to earth and positive, a shining light to others on how to conduct yourself as an expat. A really enjoyable open and honest interview free from any type of BS. He is a man that appreciates and enjoys the simple pleasures in life.
Thank you Marlec Marine! Your interactions help our channel grow! Have a great day. :-) Dan
Great vlog; sounds like Randy's found his bliss! Stay safe!
Thank you R Ignacio! Thanks for watching and commenting. :-) Dan
Great video Randy. Canโt get enough. Please keep interviewing Randy.
Thank you Glenn.
Terrific info once again. Well done Dan and Qiang !!
Thanks for watching and commenting!
I have lived on less than $600 a month for many years in Thailand and am living better than I ever did in America. You just have to be smarter and able to adapt to your environment than the average human. Learning the native language not only makes life less stressful it saves a great deal of money and time.
Thank you for the wise thought The Roads Less Traveled Southeast Asia. I couldn't have said it better myself. And thanks for taking the time to help our business grow by commenting. When you comment, like, share, or subscribe, CZcams shows our videos to more people. So it is like you are paying me for my creative energy. So, thank you, :-) Dan

Isnโt the visa situation there rough though?
Great interview,Randyโs a hoot
He is entertaining.
Great video. Randy has such a positive attitude!
Awesome interview. Great video. Thank you.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Wish this couple all the happiness they can squeeze out of this life!
You mean squeeze out of "his" life!
I mean he's happy that's all that matters. Mean while other people are getting squeezed out of every penny and their not happy while making more money
Peter Parker, thank you for taking the time to watch and comment! :-) Dan
Randy integrated well, u dont need a western lifestyle of luxury to enjoy a simple good life in the Philippines. I had the most laugh at this video than any other. Randy is HILARIOUS!
Ikr! He's funny af! I'm thinking, what are they gonna do to a 70+ year old man living his simple life and not bothering anyone, who doesn't care if his passport expired some 4/5 years ago? Lol!
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Wow!! Dan I love this vid!!~ What a great attitude! Humility to say his true income and expenses. Good for him. I wasn't really aware of the increases proposed to SS income. Thanks for such encouraging information!
I like this guy!!!!! Amazing, doing what others only dream of.

great video! I am an american and I did it in the PHlippines for 300 a month. 11 months! ITs not a little money if you can adapt to the living standard of pinoy. They can live on 6k monthly... so 15k should be ok as long as shelter and food is taken care of. Its doable.... I was extremely happy! DOABLE!
Thanks for sharing
@@VagabondAwake anytime. I like your channel,
I have enjoyed this video beyond words. Randy is one fine man and I will watch this video every day and recommend to others. I have a mind set just like Randy and only buy what I need. Less is more. I had a very beautiful airplane that was on the cover of a national magazine and do not miss it one bit. What a burden that was. Randy is my kind of man. This video put many things in perspective. Thanks so much Dan and Qiang.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Very interesting life Randy has. One could only dream of being so happy.
There are a couple of caveats in there as you pointed out. But, hey. Smile and be happy. ๐ด
Thanks for watching and commenting!
interesting to note, my wife and I considered the possibility of having to bring my mother with us when we moved to the Philippines to enjoy her last days--she was suffering from dementia at the time, was in poor health, and funds for her grouphome care were diminishing quickly. Had she not passed when she did, an option would have been bringing her with us to the Philippines to live out her days...similar to Randy's approach. She wouldn't be returning to the States again, and would be buried and interred here. But...it was just a thought...
I totally get it. Why hemorrhage $ in the USA when you can pay for good help in your own home in the Philippines?
@@VagabondAwake precisely amundo!
I will spend my retiremenr in the philippines for sure!
New subscriber. This video is amazing. Thanks for sharing. You donโt need a lot of money to enjoy life. Here in the U.S all we do is work and sleep. I barely see my husband. I am tired of paying bills and dealing with the snow.. Hoping in few months we can move to the Philippines and start our new life there.
Well said. Time to get a life?
Randy is so amazing . He is a brave man . He knows how to live normally like a an ordinary pilipino . God bless you Randy . Have a long life & enjoy your stayed here in the Philippines.
Well said
he's so amazing... living with a girl wich is 3 times younger.... ๐
Sweet....enjoyed the video!!!
Glad you enjoyed it
Randy is making the best of his situation and appears to be enjoying life.
Well said Mark Ledesma! Thanks for following my dream. Dan
Dan, I think that is the hardest laugh I've ever seen out of you. Great interview and info.
Thanks for watching and commenting! Randy cracks me up.
@@VagabondAwake that was some funny stuff, he cracks me up as well!
Youโre proving it can be done with the right state of mind. Respect the culture and the people a person can live in the Philippines comfortably. There are many ways a person can live. Some people need more money because they require a higher lifestyle.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Dan, great video. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Wow! Really interesting and realistic.
Well said Gobo Fraggel! Thanks for following my dream. Dan
To be honest this man is what I aspire to be. Gonna try and make a second life in Samar island.
Let us know how it goes!
Randy should try a youtube channel... he might be able to make a little extra cash.. not that he needs it... The world admires a man that blazes his own trail... Cheers to you Mr Wilson!
Yes. He would. :-)
Really appreciate Randy for his true bare it all story , thanks
He is one of a kind for sure!

Great interview, itโs encouraging to see how Randy and Kyle are able to live comfortably and safely on their budget, The Philippines is definitely on my radar and I plan to visit just as soon as the country opens back up to tourists.
Good luck to Randy and Kyle, keep making it work and taking care of each other.
as long as you're not a whiner on little things & not a picky eater like this guy then you can live cheaply in my country ...... to be honest, philippines is a very welcoming country compare to some other asian countries & it's a big reason why a lot of foreigners are living in the philippines ...... anyway,my advice to you is,explore the country 1st before moving & see what island suits to your lifestyle ...... good luck to you !!!!!!!!
If pandemic will gone soon try to visit phils.its a cheapest place to visit .many beaitiful places to explore
Good choice, , ,find place not typhoon prone
Thanks for watching and commenting!
I have to admit.... I make 7 times what Randy does and he is 7 times happier.
I know what you mean. I have some very successful friends in the USA pull down serious money and living high on the horse. They could buy and sell me 20 times over. But I wouldn't trade my life with any of them. I am very grateful my life turned out this way. It is not perfect, but it is very close.
Trying my best to get there as well. I love that country
Wow! He's a hoot! Thanks Dan!

@@craiggallup5706 My comment was a general one,relating to going to a new country at a later stage in your life. And enjoying a quality of lifestyle which you could not have in the west,as an old man. I know nothing about any of the aligations that you have made about him. Unlike you I did not know he even existed till I saw the video.
@@craiggallup5706 I am sure that the authorities in the Philippines will be made aware to this, and take the appropriate action.
@@craiggallup5706 Full disclosure, I only watched the first few minutes, I have downloaded it so I could see it later. I still have yet to see it, I am very busy at the moment. I do not Condon breaking the laws of a country that has allowed you to stay in it. You are a guest and should be very respectful. If what you say is true, I am very disappointed with Vagabond Awake, for showcasing this individual.
@@craiggallup5706 The lesson I have taken from this is don't comment on video's you haven't watched fully yet, my trust in Vagabound Awake is now diminished. He needs to make a public announcement.
I officially have added a new hero to my list! Talk about not giving a darn and just living life for a change!
Totally!
Glad to see he is making it. Not an ideal situation due to the variability of the exchange rate.
Well said Tim G! Thanks for following my dream. Dan
Randy looks like is living the dream
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Wow. Quite a story Dan.
Randy says he's smart, but I don't know that bragging on YT how many years you've been in the country illegally (complete with a link to his website) is all that smart. Only for those who are happy to NEVER leave the country. I expect he'll be OK , as he pointed out, they generally don't go after overstayers, but rubbing in their noses on social media? Is very unwise.
I live in the Philippines on the same budget by the way.
Good luck to him though, and thanks for posting this.
if he gets caught he'll pay a small fine and life goes on.
@Randy Wilson Thanks for the response Randy, and I understand what you are saying. For sure there are others doing the same thing across the country. As you said, they have never made much effort to force overstayers to leave. Maybe no effort at all, as far as I can tell. Not unless they're suspected of certain crimes.
It's apparently also illegal to do charity work without government permission and registration, but again, just another law that's seldom - if ever - enforced.
I'd be careful not to assume that just because things have been a certain way for a long time, that they will always stay the same though. Having a "plan B" is never a bad idea.
Personally, I'd hate to be in that situation, since i love travel and want to continue traveling. It is an interesting option for those who are certain they never want to leave though. Would work in many developing countries I suspect.
Best of luck
@Randy Wilson Hi Randy, it is all good as long as a person is Healthy, have no commitments, and happy to live in a survival mode. You are doing the right thing for you , but I wonder why your g/f chose such a way of life.
@@dovoso5685 his girlfriend chose this way of life because in the Philippines Randy is living a middle class life. She likely upgraded her life. You need to look up the type of poverty there is in the Phillipines.
@@ariefraiser140 You are right, but this is very sad , mere existence with no future.
Randy good luck, you're a real pioneer, you're happy the end.
Thanks for sharing Barb.
Very interesting vlog. Randy is fantastic.
Glad you enjoyed it
These guy commenting they'll never marry๐ Obviously never had an Asian woman. I married mine as soon as I could. They're not like American women. They treat you well. Dan knows it. Anyone with a problem with their age gap would rather her become a single mother? She loves him bc he treats her well. Better than a boy her age.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
As long as you stay in philippines. I married on built two homes there in Dumagette area after a year we decided to come to usa she finished her nursing job. Started working for 3 years she had an affair with a married Doctor so there the same as American women. I still love Asain women and will be back soon but will never marry again. Just live with one
I have lived in Medellin Colombia since 2016. At one point I was living very comfortably on $470 a month. Would love to be a guest on your show.
Less than 500 is clean, I'd love to do it ! How much for housing, food, electricity / water, internet, phone ?
๐ฏ I would love to hear your story
@@conq3097 Same, or at least more written details.

I like Randy's personality, he should start a channel.
I asked him about that once. I think he said he is bothered by the censorship he reads about on CZcams.
What a guy Randy is. My wish is that he is able to see the rest of his days out in the place he dearly loves...the Philippines.
May every day be a happy one for him.
Great vlog Dan.
@Randy Wilson
I applaud you Randy, you have a great & philosophical way of looking at things.
How you live is to be respected, even by those who couldn't or wouldn't dare themselves.
You're living your life which is everything & more that most are doing back home (& I mean that of all countries wherever back home is)
Stay happy, stay safe & I wish you both all the very very best each & every day.

600$ is around Php29,982. If you live in the province that is a lot. Depends on where you choose to live. Rent would be around 1500 - 15,000 pesos or more ( regular 1 bedroom house to condo unit). If you cook your own food that would save you a lot and will eat healthier. 800Php a day for 2 people a day is for me too much well if homemade.
There are travel packages if you decide to go around and visit tourist spots. Cost 1500-5000Php. Depending on where you choose to go. Travel every month or two months. That is not bad at all. You can get life and health insurance which is not that expensive is very flexible and can be shouldered by the $600 budget.
Thank you for your cost of living numbers Michael Jayson Banua! Have a great day! Dan
Michael Jayson Banua, True i have a house down Dumaguete 2 bedrm and 2 badroom next to the beach and My mom renting to somebody for 500 pesos a month and still can't pay lol.I rent Apartment here im Miami for $1700.2 bd with 1 1/2 bath rm

@Randy Wilson Was that you in the video? You're an inspiration man. I think there are so many men that spent 30 years of their life with an ungrateful woman, working hard to provide for their family probably at the expense of their health only to be divorced by the wife. I'm glad you moved on to a better quality woman.

Summary: Living in a scrub with a 25 year old filipina eating hot dogs for around 800 bucks monthly. Sounds like paradise.
Yes, many people love the situation Randy finds himself in. He cracks me up too!
I've been living and visiting the Philippines for over 53 years. I just left Angeles City a few months ago after my most recent stay of nine years. I will start spending time in both Florida and the PI as I have my kids/grandkids in the states. I have a very nice house only a few miles from Randy. Note for Randy: don't every try a Jollibee hamburger. I did that about eight years ago and still have nightmares over how bad it was. Lol. Al
Yes even the coffee is bad there , never touched the so called food
Thank you ouel1! Your interactions help our channel grow! Have a great day. :-) Dan

Indeed, this is an amazing story and an amazing man. Iโm not shooting for living the way Randy does, thatโs not necessary for me, but it comforts me that I can live in the Philippines and be happy, safe and carefree; legally, of course. Maybe I can meet Kyleโs identical twin sister too. ๐

This story should inspire a lot of Pilipino living in the U.S. by retiring in the Philippines you are helping the Philippines economy and you have someone who would take care of you for life one thing I admire about Pilipino they are very respectful to the Elderly in the U.S. they look at seniors
like they should stay in the convalescent,
I love Randy's attitude! When I retire in the Philippines and if I'm ever feeling down, I'll just think of Randy being so happy on $800/mo and I'll know that I can be happy too! (but with a little more money) Randy is my inspiration. I've bookmarked this video. Thanks Dan for interviewing him!

Such a cool guy. ๐
I'm happy for all these retired folks living overseas with PERFECT HEALTH. Must be nice to be. 60+ and not need any medication because it sure isn't factored into any of these you can live here for 3 dollars a month videos.
Well it does help to keep a healthy lifestyle, but a lot of countries you can get very cheap healthcare. It is cheaper for us to pay out of pocket in Mexico than my copay in the USA for prescription medications.
@@pedrozatravel we also figured that even were we to have stayed in the USA, our combined SS income coupled with any available PT jobs or..even continuing to work and deferring SS for awhile, living in the States would have required moving out of CA to a cheaper state, and if either of us came down with any debilitating health problem, even if we had health insurance, any long-term care facility would have virtually bankrupted us despite everything. Yah, we have savings and investments but it would quickly evaporate. Instead--we moved here, built our retirement house, are staying legally with a PRA visa (thankfully) and...retired! NOT working.
You don't need perfect health to live overseas. There are lots of countries with as good or better Healthcare systems as the US for what ails most expats at a much cheaper price. And when it comes to prescription drugs which is the medical care a majority of expats would need it's ridiculously cheap compared to the US.
Once you get to highly specialized technical healthcare like organ transplants that's likely where it would be better to be in the US but let's be honest. For a majority of guys like Randy they wouldn't be able to afford the cost of something like that even with Medicare. At a certain point in time you just have to go out and make the most of your remaining years instead of trying to live as long as possible but live in misery in the process.
Health care is very affordable in the Philippines. Their system has problems, but its not a giant parasite like America's health care industry.
Thanks for your thoughts on this video everyone!
You can get a retirement visa for the Philippines it isn't hard just have 10k in the bank and a monthly retirement which social security counts and live the rest of your life
I would just get 36 monthly extensions and then do a visa run and come back and start all over again. I am not sure there are any real benefits to buying a retirement visa.
Yes Philippine is the right place for retirement. In Iloilo Province we still have lots for sale for only 1, 500 pesos to 2500 pesos/sq.. meter.
I wasnโt surprised, my Mom survived until she passed away 15 years ago for only $800 a month also
I would guess that about 10 to 20% of expats in Philippines fit into that category. The ones that live outside the big cities where it is easier to live like a local.
First money saving tip seems to be: Only buy one set of earphones.

Qiang, loved how you magically disappeared and reappeared. It was kind of entertaining and distracted me from thinking about the 45 year age difference. Iโm not mad. I actually think they look happy together. Why hasnโt the world got past age being more than a number? When will women be less criticized if they choose to date a younger man? Just wondering. I liked his budgeting idea of the daily amount of spending money in the jar. If you donโt spend it all, the balance could be tucked away for a rainy day. Thanks Dan for another informative video.
